I also have a Real Goods showerhead, the one that costs about $12 and has a flow rate of 1.2 gallons per minute (and an on-off switch). The realgoods website is down at the moment, but a Google search will turn up this showerhead on Treehugger and other sources. I bought mine from Real Goods around 1996 and it has performed flawlessly all these years; guests (especially those from Europe) always remark how much they enjoy our shower. It gives a very strong and satisfying shower but not the "pins and needles" kind that hurts. It does take longer to wash long hair under it, I'm told....not an issue for me as I don't have much hair left myself. ;-)

I've had them both for several years now and they still look and work like new. Best low flow showerheads I could find. Really nice pressure, even in a low water pressure apartment (and now that I have moved to a regular water pressure condo, they are even better)

Try Ecocamel (www.ecocamel.com/). These heads aerate your shower as it flows thereby maintaining pressure, but reducing water use. I have one at home that works really well. Only thing to watch out for is that they are slightly more noisy than a standard head.

I highly recommend the Delta 75152 Water Amplifying showerhead. It has 2 settings, the 'regular' setting is 2.5 gpm, and the 'low' setting is 1.85 gpm. The 1.85 is more than plenty. My main complaint with low flow showerheads has always been there wasn't enough pressure to rinse effectively with. Not the case with this unit. When we first got it, we used the regular setting, for a week or so, but were able to go down to the low setting ever since and it's worked wonderful. After visiting my sister in MN and dealing with her 'dribbly' low flow head, I think I'm going to start giving these as presents for Christmas and birthdays.

Alsons' are the creators of the Water Amplifying feature used in the Delta Shower head mentioned above. It looks like Delta bought Alsons' at the end of 2011 (http://www.deltafaucet.com/alsons.html) I have the Delta (1.8/2.5 gpm) model on the upstairs tub, but I bought the Alsons' 1.5gpm version for the master bath and find the performance to be similar. I found it in the $25 price range online. I've seen the Delta on the shelf at the Big Box stores so if you are worried about the possibility of wanting to return it, you may want to go that route.

If you want to go ultra low flow you should check the Aqua Helix (http://www.aquahelix.net/) which I used for 4-5 years before the wife forced me to get the Alsons'. It provides a strong, tingling stream unrestricted but can be adjusted by sliding collar down to more of a soft pattern. It spins a single stream around within the head much like a pressure washer nozzle does. You'll see on their web site that it is a real "Love it" or "Hate it" kind of product. I'll re-install the Aqua Helix again if we go back to drought conditions or have water restrictions.

American Standard FloWise Transitional 3-Function Water Saving Shower www.americanstandard-us.com/shower-faucets/flowise-3-function-water-saving-showerhead/
Bought one of these after evaluating Amazon.comwww.amazon.com/gp/product/B00125PZJ8/ref=noref?ie=UTF8&s=hi&psc=1 and Consumer Report magazine. Was so impressed that I purchased a second for our other bath.
This showerhead delivers a deceptively economical flow of water by using turbine technology, giving the sensation of a greater flow rate.
There are three settings; at 1.5gpm you get a basic shower pattern, and at 2.0gpm, you can choose between a full spray or combination spray. If one of the 2.0gpm settings was used, when the shower has ended, the setting resets to the 1.5gpm default.
Running out of hot water after multiple showers has been reduced or eliminated (with two teenagers), but the primary consideration is conservation of water, especially during a prolonged Texas drought.

Note that low flow, in addition to being unsatisfying, take longer to get warm, and studies have shown that low-flow showers are correlated to respiratory illness (from the mist that low-flow tends to produce.

Consider the Speakman, which is a showerhead that you will often find in hotels and athletic clubs. I expect that this is so because, although it's not cheap, it will be unlikely to need replacing for decades, and it adjusts to make just about anyone happy with the stream. We absolutely love ours. It works exactly as it did when we put it in over a year ago.

We got ours online at Ace Hardware Outlet for about $45 delivered but I see that it's more expensive now. What I like about it is that 1) it's solid. Not much to go wrong. 2) It has a very simple control lever on the side, which again, is very solid, and quickly adjusts through an infinite range of continuously variable settings, from almost a solid, smooth stream of water, to numerous pin-prick streams that almost feel like they could take paint off.

The shower heads from takeashower.com are by far the best for low water pressure. I have used them for many years now, we have one in each bathroom. The customer service is superb, the pricing is totally reasonable and the performance speaks for itself - highly recommend!

It is possible! Some shower heads use adjustable spray patterns or a pressure chamber to increase shower pressure without using more water. We've got heaps of reviews of different shower heads from Rainfall to L.E.D ones at www.agreatshower.com you can check out the reviews here.

What do you get for someone that has everything? A shower head! My father has been suffering for years in southern Florida with low water pressure. I have listened to the complaining and experienced his low water pressure shower head myself. All he wanted was to increase the velocity and power of the water that he had without breaking the bank. This last birthday I was struggling on what to get him and my search began. I came across www.take-a-shower.com and their videos of their products working on youtube. I decided to send him the 6 jet in brushed nickel. Here is a video of it working. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BqnRLhYVIso . I got the best son award this year! Dad is finally happy and telling everyone in his complex what a great son I am and how happy he is with my purchase.

If you have low water pressure throughout your entire house it is likely going to be caused by either your municipal water supply or the supply plumbing on your property. You can consult your local plumber who can check your plumbing for corrosion and blockages. If this is the case, you or your plumber might be able to fix the issue by adjusting your pressure reducing valve. Otherwise some old pipework may need replacing.

If you just have low water pressure in your shower it might be caused by your bathroom plumbing or your shower head. If your water pressure has become low, there might be corrosion in your bathroom pipes or your shower head might be starting to clog. Try cleaning your shower head with the how to guide that we’re published here.

If your shower water pressure has always been low and weak, you can check for the presence of and try removing or altering the flow restrictor in your shower head.

Under United States law, shower heads can only be sold with a water flow of no more than 2.5 gallons per minute. To comply with this law, shower head manufacturers and distributor companies add a small plastic flow restrictor to their shower heads.

You can remove the flow restrictor or water saver by unscrewing your shower head. Locating the colored plastic restrictor, then pulling it out with a pair of pliers or a screwdriver. For some of the more difficult ones to remove, you might need to try screwing a screw into it, to give you something to grip so that you can remove it easier.

You are looking for something low flow but high pressure for low water pressure in your shower. The Fire Hydrant Series of shower heads and Handhelds are specifically designed for powerful performance even at the lowest water pressures. I was doing some research on Google.com (searched for powerful fire hydrant shower heads) recently and found http://highpressureshowers.com/ from Take A Shower LLC. Take A Shower has engineered inside of the shower heads’ design that sends the incoming water through a series of narrowing channels within the shower heads’ internal design that gives great velocity (which speeds up the water. like you put your figure on the end of a garden hose.) whether you are on a city or well water supply. I have read the reviews and have spoken with a great customer service department on a quality 4 Jet Shower Head called Fire Hydrant Spa Symphony. They have other series of shower heads but this is the one I purchased. When I turned it on the first time I was impressed at the powerful water flow. It was much better than my old shower head. This 4 Jet has to be one of the best shower heads for low water pressure problems and would do just as good with normal or high water pressure in the shower.I would try this out if you are still having problems with your shower. Thank you for fixing my low water pressure in my shower!

I buy a lot of things every year, many of them good, a handful great, and many not so good. It’s not very often that I find a product and company that stand head and shoulders above anything in their market. Take a shower and Amazon.com who also sells take a shower’s line of shower heads fit that description to a point. I’ve had one of their Fire Hydrant Spa Plaza Massager Shower Heads in my bathroom for over two years and it’s the best shower head I have ever owned. I’m a mechanical engineer and I researched many different designs. This one exceeds my expectations. In fact, I’m moving into a new home in a couple of weeks and just ordered another Fire Hydrant Spa Plaza Massager Shower head from Amazon with my Amazon Prime order. If you want a great shower head and want to talk to someone who knows a lot about water pressure call them directly and ask for customer service. You won’t get it and you’ll get the right product on the day they promise delivery.
